Kyle Mecher joined the pastoral team in Fall 2015, and has been attending ResCov since 2011 when he returned to his hometown of Chicago to attend Seminary. Through play, conversation, and experiential learning, he strives to help children theologize together and imagine how God’s story of love has real impact in their lives.

Stuart Seale joined the team at ResCov in November of 2024. He has a background in music education with a vocal emphasis and has a masters degree in jazz studies from DePaul for piano performance. Stuart also has been making music in church as a music director or in a supportive role since 2005. He plays piano in a bunch of different groups around town and believes that making music is a beautiful way to help create a supportive and inclusive community.
